Yeah, that stat about plastic cutlery is wild. I read the same thing, it sticks around for hundreds of years. @james_allen24 is right, those little talks where you just explain your weird fork are way more powerful than just throwing numbers at people. When someone sees you doing something simple, it makes the whole idea seem less like a chore and more like a normal choice. That picnic story is a perfect example of how these habits actually spread.

Seriously, saw a story where bad wiring caused a house fire.
